Narcissists can be infuriating, to say the very least – and if you’re stuck in any sort of relationship with one, you’ll go through a myriad of emotions on a regular basis – a toxic relationship is often a roller-coaster ride of emotional highs and lows.
Today’s video is dedicated to one of my YouTube viewers who sent me an email that explained that she was feeling a lot of rage at a certain narcissistic person she is forced to deal with on a regular basis.

In this episode of Go Ask Angie, I answered a viewer question relating to narcissists and how they affect their children.
“YouTuber August Greenwell said: Could you please explain a bit more about the effect of “kid issues” and how they relate to one becoming narc-bait? And could birth order play a component? Thanks ahead of time, Augs”
Most of us are already aware that narcissistic parents refuse to respect or even acknowledge their children’s desires.

If mornings are a rush in your household, then you might consider safety a vital aspect of your coffeemaker purchase. Some of these appliances do not have automatic shut off elements, so if you rush out the door to a meeting and remember that you left the coffeepot on in the middle of rush hour traffic, you’re out of luck.
Not all automated shut off features are the same. As you’ll read in my Waring CMS120 Professional 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker

So often, survivors of narcissistic abuse find themselves falling for the hoovering and love-bombing of narcissists who have nothing but their own interests (and “supply”) in mind.

Not everyone is picky about the design of their kitchen appliances. But when it comes to whether or not a small appliance fits on your countertop, you have to consider the design of your coffeemaker when it comes to factoring into your buying decision.
Some coffeemakers are pretty big – and some of us don’t mind that fact. But if counter space is an issue, then you may want to consider the Hamilton Beach 47454 BrewStation Deluxe 12-Cup Coffeemaker.

Flying monkeys are just one of many tactics a narcissist uses to get what he wants from his victims.

While taste and features rank first in what consumers consider when buying a coffeemaker, that may not be true for all people. Cost is another factor that decides whether you’ll get one brand or model over another.

When a narcissist gets caught in a lie, or when he’s done something he considers unacceptable in any way (or at least in a way that he can’t somehow blame someone else), something interesting happens: he begins to look for something to take the attention off his mistake and elevate himself back to his “rightful […]
